22 LR dummy rounds
Brownell's has 50 rounds for $6.77
Midway has 12 rounds for $10.48
Is this a typical case of "you get what you pay for" ? One would hope that the Midway offering is of much higher quality. (Doh! I didn't look at shipping costs!) Would one be preferred over the other for feeding in automatics?

Henry,
Your talking about "blanks" right?
If so, semi-autos can be "balky" and you would want rounds that are as close to standard length as possible. Revolvers really could care less, but the semi's are a different breed. Check the specs. on the ammo being offered.

Go with the Brownell's, I bought 50 of them years ago, and I'm still using them.
Was having ejection problems with a 22/45, didn't want to work live rounds through the action.0 -
I've also had Brownells for years.Don't know why Midways would be so expensive.

Are you sure you're talking about the same manufacturer between the two suppliers? You didn't mention if that was the case.... That may be the partial reason for the difference in pricing, or it could be a typo error. I'd call and confirm, then you can get the actual shipping costs and how they are shipped.
$5K for an old chevy can be a good thing if its a corvette, but not if its a cavalier.

I purchased some of the armscore 22 cal snap caps to replace some of my worn out 22 cal dummy rounds. The plastic snap caps are more like the size of 22 shorts and won't work well in automatics. The old dummy rounds were metal cased and full sized 22 long rifle, and painted solid black as to not confuse them with live ammunition.

Henry, $10.48 for 12 dummies is more than (or right about) the retail on current production sold singly to collectors!! All of these will be by CCI, R-P or W-W and of equal quality. $6.77 is about right.

No, Blanks and Dummys are not the same thing. A blank discharges but there is no projectile. Dummys look and function in the action like a live round but are inert.

It seems to me that the effort to make dummies that only last 2 or three times from spent brass is way more trouble than it's worth.

Dummy rounds are used primarily for training purposes!
